Young enough for a Fields? There is a ceremony later this year, but it's probably too soon. So he could be awarded a Fields in 2026 if he's not yet 40. He received his PhD in 2011. Also, according to MathGenealogy, his grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand thesis advisor was none other than Poisson himself. Poisson's advisers were Lagrange and Laplace. Lagrange's was Euler. Euler's was Bernoulli. Bernoulli's was another Bernoulli. You can go back to the late 15th century to find mathematicians with "unknown" advisors.
